Postpunk Chronicles: Scared To Dance
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
It really was a glorious time for music. The Smiths were still together. R.E.M. were still a bar band. New Order were finding their voice apart from Joy Division. And Robert Smith's smeared lipstick was redder than Molly Ringwald's hair. Scared to Dance is one of three compilations in Rhino's Postpunk Chronicles series, which also includes Left of the Dial and Going Underground. If the songs on this album evoke memories of your youth, then you'll remember what the term cult following used to mean. Your cult was a community of outsiders who found solidarity in Echo and the Bunnymen, ripped fishnet stockings, Dead Kennedys jackets, and a mass of hair products ranging from powdered bleach to egg whites. The worst thing that could happen to your band was a Top 40 hit. --Beth Bessmer
